Peoria
Rivermen General Manager Kevin McDonald
announced today that the St. Louis Blues have reassigned forward Cody Beach to the Rivermen ECHL
affiliate, the Evansville IceMen.

Beach,
20, made his AHL debut on Nov. 8 against Charlotte and has five assists in
seven games with Peoria. He has also collected 24 penalty minutes. He began the
year, and his professional career, with nine games in Evansville. He scored his
first pro goal on Nov. 2 in the team’s 4-3 win over Wheeling and also racked up
40 penalty minutes in his nine games.

Last
season with Moose Jaw in the Western Hockey League, the 6-foot-5-inch,
200-pound winger recorded 56 points (15, 41a) in 58 games and accumulated 229
penalty minutes. The Kelowna, BC native was originally selected by the Blues in
the fifth round (#134 overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
